HOT-HAD FOR EXPLOSIVE-ENGINES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 29, 1907.

Application filed Juno 1 1907- Serial NO. 3761881 7 '0 all whom ll may concern:

Be it known that I, (In-rupee L. SMALLIEY, a. citizen of the United Shit-es, residing at Stepuey, county of Foil-field, Slnte 0i lonueclicut, have inro'ulerl new and useIul I'lot-Hend 'l'or lfixplosire-Engines, ol' which the following is u. speeilimtiou.

This lll'VGllllOll relnl'cs Lo liydrocurlion explosive. engines, more especiirlly to engines of lhe stnl ionury type using, kerosene as fuel, and has for its object (o provide a hot head, so called, for expl sive engines inwhich the oil shall be highly heated before striking lhe flesh plate, in which the couilulstiou ol the oil shall be cmnplele, the circulation of the gases perfect and the deposit of carbon in the head shall he wholly avoided.

With these and other objects in view I have devised the novel hot heed of which the iollou'iug description in connection with the aeccunrmnying drawing is a. specificntiou, rel'eren ce chnmcters being used to inrlicale the several parts:

Figure l is a vertical section ol my novel 110(1 hencl on the line l-l in Fig. 2; Fig. 2 c vertical section atright angles thereto on rhe line 2-2 in 1" ig'. i, looking in the direction of the urrows; Fig. 3 a. transverse section on the line 33 in Fig. 1, looking down; and Fig. 4 is an inverled plan view.

10 denotes the body which is hulhous in form and is provided with u ill-Ange .11. provided wit-l screw holes 13 Within the body at approximately iis mid-height, is a cross-well or partition H- which may he cant inlegral with the body or made separate and secured there to as preferred. Above this crossmnll is u chamber a which I term for convenience the circulation chuinber, and below the cross-wall is an explosion chiunher l6, passages 17 on opposite sides or the cross-wall providinglreo communicntionhehrccn said l'llzl-lllllBl'S. At. the base of the explosion cherub-er is 0. Push plate 18 which is preferably made separate from the head and made downwardly undercut on opposite sides (0 engsge corresponding ways ll) in the herd, edoct'irm passages 23 being left on opposite sides of the [lush plme. Oil is phrei'ug the orifice or the plug at; a distance above the linsh. plu-te, as the oil. heeomes l'righly hcnlzed in the plug, and piecing the plug atsuch an angle 01' inclineiil'uilo the [lush plole Unit the oil will strike the opposite siile ol' the head and he deflected and strike the lli-sh pine in. the :lnrruol' a spray, thus insuring instantn'lul con'lplcle cmnbuslion or the oil. In practice, the gaseous producls ol the ex 'llosions will pass upwnrd frrun the explosion chniuber into the circulation elnunher through one of the pee-ranges l7 and will pass downrd 1h rough the other passage 17, through the explosion chruuhcr and outward n11 rough educt-ion pnssnges 23 on opposite sides 01 the flush plate. I have found in practice Lhul. izhis cljmslruczilion insures complete coinbusliion or the oil, perlfecl; circulation of the gases and entire relief from cmlmnizntion in the head which is such :1 serious object-ion (0 engines of this class as new built. v

Having thus described my invention I elnim:

1. L not heard for explosive engines comprislng 21 body inn-lug n cross \vnll, passages on opposite sides'of the will] and chamber: shove and helow the wnll. u flash pinto in the lower clnu'nller and means for supplying oil thereto.

A hot head for explosive engines comprising :1 bulbous hotly having :1 cross wall. pnssnges on (llllmsllil-3 Sides of the wull, an explosion clmnihci' below the wall and :1 circulating chamber above the wall, a flush plnLe in the v explosion clnuuller nucl muons for supplying oil thereto. 1:2 as a. means of attachment. to no engine, lll(l1(.zl.l.l3l,l by

3. A hot honcl for explosive engines, comprising n. body li-rivinp: a cross wall with passages on opposite sides thereof and chambers above and below the well.

-l. A. not bond for explosive engines comprising a body having: a cross wall with pnssages on opposite sides tllereor, an explosion cluunher below the cross will, a flushplute in the explosion chamber and an inclined ell supply plug above the flush plate.

.\ lint head lfor explosive engines comprising :1 body having no explosion chamberwith n. flush plnte therein and an oil sup pl ,r plug placed at an incline so that oil therefrom will strike the well of the chamber and be deflected upon the Hush plate in the form of sprnr.

i. A hot head for exploslre engines comprising a body having n cross \vnll, pzwsngcs on opposite sides of the cross well, n circulation chumher above the cross well and an explosion chamber below the cross wall, :1 flash plate in the explosion clnunher and an on supply plug; lncllnednt nu nnglo so that oil therefrom will strike the wall of the clinmhor and he deflect d upon the flash plntejlr the form ol! spray.

1n tusrlinooy whereof I nflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
